Fire safety awareness should always be a top priority across all industries, especially if you run a commercial kitchen. Guardian Services understands that NFPA 96 (The National Fire Protection Association) is the standard for ventilation control and fire protection of commercial cooking operations, and we offer commercial kitchen fire suppression services, in partnership with a leading fire protection company, to help kitchens adhere to the standards. We can assist customers with both the installation and the maintenance of a fire suppression system. In this article, we’ll demonstrate how we can help you prevent kitchen fire hazards.
NFPA 96 is the standard for safety policies related to ventilation control and fire protection of consumer cooking operations, in order to reduce fire hazards. There are established requirements for the design, installation, operation, inspection, and maintenance of exhaust systems in commercial kitchens to protect against the risk of fire. NFPA 96 lays out hood requirements, ductwork requirements, fan requirements, grease removal devices, and fire suppression systems. There are also requirements for the inspection and maintenance of commercial kitchen systems.
One important way to keep your commercial kitchen safe and smoke-free is with a kitchen hood fire suppression system. Our licensed technicians can conduct certified inspections of your current fire suppression operation, or you may elect to use our fire suppression services. We can identify grease buildup and other potential hazards, replace automatic links at each inspection, keep your system compliant with local code, or install Protex II kitchen hood fire suppression systems.
We are experienced with installing and maintaining commercial fire extinguishers to protect your restaurant or commercial kitchen against fire safety risks. Guardian Services offers annual and semi-annual fire extinguisher inspections, installation of automatic fire extinguisher systems, hydrostatic testing for pipes and pressure valves, as well as compliance with the National Fire Prevention Association. Our experts will make recommendations that are tailored to the specific needs of your facility, and protect everyone involved from fire hazards.
